Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant was selected to grace the third and final cover of the popular NBA 2K21 video game. Bryant is on the cover of NBA 2K21 Mamba Edition, which has two designs — one each for the current- and next-generation consoles.
The current-gen version depicts Bryant in his No. 8 jersey, while the next-gen (for PS5 and Xbox Series X) has him in No. 24. New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson and Portland Trail Blazers All-Star Damian Lillard were previously unveiled as the game’s fellow cover athletes.
The honor marks a third time Bryant has appeared on the cover of an NBA 2K series video game.
